🇰🇷 Stray Kids “District 9” MV [HYPE UK 🇬🇧 REACTION!] 

Can you believe they had the fucking AUDACITY to debut like THAT?!?!?! The nerve! But we are thankful. District 9 is honestly one of my favorite tracks from them.

I feel like you'd love watching 'three men in colourful pants' where 3racha create a song all about how they can't live without changbin, live.

the high notes in this is song is so high that JYP (their company chairman & a producer) said they wouldnt be able to hit it, so they made it *higher* . KING MOVES

pls consider the fact that they produce their music themselves and most of them were younger than 20 yo back then, they did an amazing job and we just get to see them grow musically over the years, and the fact that everything they've achieved so far is by their own effort and talent is just unbelievable

It's the way Chan's vocals drop into that chorus that blows people away.

I’m quickly becoming a fan of Stray Kids. I usually don’t like or follow boy bands but they doing their thing.

Skz just had a bus and a dream... 3racha sat in the studio and decided to make history. District 9 is probably my favourite debut song I still get 1000% hyped every time I hear it :)) also your changbin bias is so relatable i understand your struggles

for « Boxer » Lee Know also does the introduction

Changbin's rap in this song is the first thing I'd ever heard from Stray Kids and I immediately fell down that SKZ rabbit hole because I was blown away. I owe it all to Changbin!

Changbin obviously puts brilliant verse and flow out there but I think half of the impact comes from how Bang Chan arranges Binnie's parts. It's clear especially in this one. He works his butt off to do justice to the flow.

Yeah, that was Woojin. He is currently in Birmingham as a solo Artist. 😊

“Guys like Voldemort you can’t say his name”. You broke me for a good 5 mins 🤣

I'd love to see you react to Chronosaurus. It's whole different vibe, but it was that and Levanter that really dragged me into Stray Kids because I was going through a time where those songs hit me right in the heart.

I love how much of a changbin stan you are it gets me every time 😂 one of my favorite songs🙌🏼

skz are so weird. I know they really found their sounds after gods menu and everything after it was a reset on an absolutely different level. BUT things like district 9, double knot, side effects, miroh- they are still so iconic. Yeah they sounds rougher but there’s a beauty to it. Watching these kids grow into the artists they are now and imagining just how great they can become has been the highlight of my kpop experience - just musical experience in general. Glad to have you along

District 9 is their debut but 'Hellevator' is their first song plz watch it

Istg Changbin could scream inside my ear rapping those syllables 24x7 and i would be thankful.

I love hear Hyunjin scream District 9, every time is more deep. In one of the last concerts, he killed, totally. 😭

I love the rawness of this track. this is one of my favorite raps by Changbin. They were so young. It’s hard to believe. I saw them in concert and his rapping live is so good. If they come your way.. seriously you need to see them live. The show is amazing.

This one has some elements that continue all the way through SKZ, right up to the present. -- "Stray kids everywhere all around the world" -- the tagline for almost every video -- started in these lyrics. -- Han's emphatic "jikilGE!" line near the end is the root of the exaggerated panting you often see them doing in videos, on stages, in random content. You noticed it in N/S. They did it at the end of Time Out. Every single time you see that, it's them clowning Han's live-stage version of this line (it's not, as a few keep repeating, them just mocking the generic ending-fairy tradition -- it's very specifically mocking Han). -- Both Han's and Bin's raps in this start off with their signature sounds -- Han's high, growly "aahhh" and Bin's "yohhh." These signatures repeat throughout SKZ's discography and beyond and are distinctly identified with them. -- bonus info: Though you're not doing SKZ's storyline, this is one of the defining first entries in that universe (the first was Hellevator, which set things up). This was their declaration of intent: We're not going to conform to the system. We're breaking out and going our own way, even if it means we're gonna have to make our own safe little district in a rundown no-man's land.

District 9 was a great debut for them, but you could tell they hadn't solidified their point of view as much, compared to later title tracks. however, their music is always very self aware and they touched on that as a theme of the album: not knowing who they were, only knowing who they were not, hence the album title "I am NOT". they're so clever for being able to debut with that kind of concept, especially considering Chan was the oldest at 20...Han was literally still 17 when they wrote their debut album. they're amazing, as you know, lol.

You should also react to "muddy water" since you like their rap songs

I love how you began with "I hope it's not overrated" also, about rappers being competitive, both Han and Changbin has said they've become better rappers because of trying to keep up and outdo each other ever since they met as trainees:)

0:43 If you want to listen to a really good debut, I would like to recommend Happy Death Day by Xdinary Heroes. They are a band in the same company (skz baby brothers).

Woojin now makes his own music it’s really good

Changbin never dosappointed with his rap flow! Stray Kids are amazing!!

District 9 will forever be my queen.

This is one of the most powerful debuts I’ve ever seen. As a predebut Stay and casual listener for other groups, no other debut was this solid and powerful, and at such a young age too. Stray Kids really came out and destroyed everyone with just their debut.

the first time i saw stray kids live after they debuted i left the venue biasing changbin after hearing his verse in this and ready to learn everything about them😮‍💨 years later now and they're one of my top 3 groups🫂

Lets call Lee Know's intro as "Knowtro" because "Mintro" could also be belong to Seungmin...

Yesss, finally!! District 9!! The beginning of skz's rule!! 👍👍

lol you can say woojins name we are not all that dramatic :')

i think you should also react to Colours (or Playing with Paints) by Mayfly (was a rap unit performance during Kingdom with Changbin, Han, Bang Chan (stray kids), Hongjoong (ateez) and Minhyuk (btob)). you'll love it! ps: idk if you already have done on patreon, but since i don't have it i wanted to suggest

i cant unheared the concert version rn omg 💀 if you dont mind please react to district 9 in any recent maniac concert version bcause... hyunjin's growl ? chan's vocal ? han's high note and so on duhhh legit incredible 😭👍🏻

Omg when you said that you are not allowed to say Woojin’s name. I flipped out 😂. Woojin is doing good now. I’m happy for him.

Would recommend you check out WJ, but if you are sensitive to hate - then do it on your own as toxic antis that refuse to even look at the truth even after the OP ADMITTED it was fake and a many months long police investigation found the accusations to be malicious (meaning false for all the slow people) will flams you & try to cancel you unless you agree with them to hate on others (which is ironic since SKZ is supposedly all about spreading love...😒). Also, he is a vocalist, so his music is different to what SKZ does. Very positive though - his message is great! Especially considering what he's been through in recent years. Would recommend him, but be warned.

Even if you don't know anything about skz: when Han or ChangBin appears on the track you can sense they're just different. Every member is good but these two are the base of a rap line and you can clearly tell. Even in their debute days

You should try to react to district 9 in concert. Personally, I think it’s a thousand times better

You should react to "Grr" or "Boxer" of skz

"muddy Watter" Is top, only rap, whit Felix, Changbin, hyujin and han🔥🔥🔥

It's a MINTRO. Lee Knows real name is Minho.

more recommendations.... silent cry, boxer, red lights, wolfgang, back door, ssick

I have never seen anyone as passionate about rap and music as you.

PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS SONG!!!!!!!! (J-HOPE MORE)

This song will truly always be one of my favorites, no matter how long after their debut. Thanks for the reaction!

District 9 was from when Stray Kids first debuted. Most of them were still teenagers at the time. 3Racha (members Bang Chan, Changbin and Han) wrote and produced it themselves, with the help of another producer. Woojin is in a few different scenes, two of which are @8:02 and also @9:17 . He left the group in 2019. @9:26 - that's Hyunjin.

BROKEN COMPASS NEXT PLEASE 🧭🥺❤️‍🔥

Pls listen to VOICES, you will be suprise with changbin's rap and also they have the back on forth rap between han and changbin as well. In total, that song is awesome!!!

This song is where the heavy breathing meme comes from it’s from it’s right after Han’s rap during/after the bridge he ends with “jikilge” and there’s a video where he like breathes really heavily after that and then other videos where the members are taking the piss outta him and saying jikilge and then breathing really heavily and now it’s just the heavy breathing with the whole chest movement and we all know where it’s from

when they did hellevator pre debut one of JYP's critics was that the chorus was to high bc it was in a female key. When chan made district 9 he made the chorus even higher on purpose just bc he could.

Can't wait! Can't wait to see your reaction to Changbin part 😍

‘he had an adlib’ *loses mind* HAHAHAHAHAHA changbin stans relate

Hey it's me again 😏 Not me smirking during your entire intro, knowing that you will love the song 😏 Fun fact that I might have said this exact same with your Hellevator reaction, but JYP said that they sounded bad singing Hellevator because it was in a female key so Bang Chan went ahead and made this song in an even higher key 😏 I was shaking and smiling the entire time leading up to the Binsung rap, hoping you will lose your mind and you didn't let me down 😂 Han's "ach" before he starts rapping has the power to shut off my breathing easily. This is my FAVOURITE Changbin rap as well. They compliment each other so well. There was also a "yoooh" before he started rapping, which is connected to Changbin by the entire fandom. Also since Woojin is not part of the group anymore, the high parts he used to sing are now Han's and Seungmin's I believe. That man can hit a high note like it's nothing I swear. 😭 When you asked "who was that" at that moment that was Lee Know. And the grey haired guy that you actually skipped back to is Woojin. It's a little confusing, cause your brain might have just caught up with you by the time you got to Lee Know or you confused them, which is also okay. This being their debut song just slaps hard honestly. Thanks for the reaction as always! Take care :)

I think this is my favorite video of yours because you were so worried it wouldn’t hold up to the nostalgia and hype but I KNEWWWW you were worried for nothing

This is the very song that made me a fan of their music...when Han started that verse I was blown away even though im not a huge fan of rap/hiphop, also it had some kind of rock vibes chorus...this album still one of my favorites from them

the fact that you now have a hole in your floor because of min yoongi will never stop to make me laugh, anyways han and changbin’s rap is easily one of the most iconic raps in the history of debuts

Not him calling Woojin voldemort 😭.lmao

District 9 was the first Stray Kids song I heard from them, the MV the first I saw from them, I’ve been with them since debut (sadly not pre-debut). But like you, Changbin was the first one to catch my eye (ear?) and pulled me in because of his raps, followed closely by Felix. After getting to know them all over the years, my bias list is completely wrecked though…

EYyyyyy 😁👍 I'm enjoying your reaction

All good on the Woojin thing with me. He's a really great artist and I think it's time that some Stays build their bridges to get over it. Life doesn't always go to plan, after all, and sometimes we need to do what's right for ourselves. He fits better as a solo artist and his impressive vocals get to shine. His song "Still Dream" is beautiful and the lyrics reflect what he went through. Worth a listen 👍

Probably am being nostalgic but its still a banger 😄🥰 love anytime that Han and Binnie go back to back

Oh I’ve waited for this day for so long 😭

Love your reactions....this one is no different. Stray Kids are simply amazing, and they were my introduction into Kpop. Kim Woojin is a fantastic artist as well, please give him a look as well...check out, Still Dream, Ready Now, Growing Pains and Purple Sky....you may like it!☺👍👏👏

As always an another great reaction to my boys stray kids keep going pro

You have to check out Hellevator! It's a pre-debut track, released few months before District 9, and it's insane

"Boxer" also strats off with lee know's rap, I absolutely love this song! Also there is a street version where they are fooling around just like in the "N/S

I always like your reaction! Please react changbin and han matryoshka in survival show, it always make me proud to changbin!!!!!!! 🤯

I absolutly agree with you; district 9 is amazing and they just got better afterwards. But I do really love district 9, not only because the song is good but also because it talks about skz's goal from the very beginning: gathering all the stray kids around the world and making them a place to STAY through their music

This song made me a stay soooo long ago. So that's exactly why I have a tattoo with the most meaningful line on myself: 나도 나를 잘 모르는데 왜 네가 나를 아는 듯이 말해 Translation: Why are you talking like you know me? Though I don't even know myself.

I was waiting for this 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for continuing your youtube videos too (from all the broke/international STAYs from economically broken countries like me LOL)

These guys have never done a bad song. They are so underrated 😍

Yassss finally!! After soooo long. This is one of the greatest 👍🏼

Oh I'm waiting for more skz reactions and here we are.I watched all your skz reactions and you really have good reactions,I'm glad you appreciate them😊

You should do Mirror btw, it's one of their debut songs and it goes as hard as District9 for me

Pls inform yourself about woojin and his controversy. I started stanning skz after he left the group I didn't know about this whole thing so I can't confirm anything, but there's a lot of videos on RU-vid objectively explaining the situation. After informing myself I also became a fan of him since he has a very beautiful voice, nice songs and a nice personality. I understand when people do not like him anymore, but the hate and the insults are just toxic and mean, it even made him suffer for a while.

Have you seen God's Menu, Skuzoo version? It's worth a watch even if you don't make a reaction video .

Hi???? Why no one has recommended him (GRRR) changbin killed that!!!!!!!!! It's changbin song!!!!!

You MUST react to "Carpe Diem" by Stray Kids!!! It's a rap song that was performed by Changbin and Han in some korean awards show back in 2019 (and I know you love it when these two go back and forth just rapping in their songs haha). I'll put some links here with the respective description so you can choose which one to watch IF you decide to watch it. • "Carpe Diem" performance cut: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vNfkK15RC9w.html (47secs) • Full performance (which includes: 3rd Eye + Side Effects + Carpe Diem + Double Knot): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XrCG3i7hdz8.html (7min 43secs) • "Carpe Diem" lyric video in case you want to know what they're saying, since the other two videos have no captions. The audio is the same as the first one since they've only performed the song and not actually released a studio version of it (that's also why "Carpe Diem" is not even 1 minute long): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-l6YSYAXV4BY.html (52secs) I really enjoy watching your reactions, keep up the good work!!! :)

I’ve come back to say this song is not fully appreciated unless you hear a concert clip of it in 2022 they had a VISION and it is incredible

Teddys reactions >. I be at work talking to my phone just agreeing 😭 he just reads them as artist so well

I love how much u love Changbin hahaha & since I know You love rap You should react to Acrobat by Gwangil Jo 🙏🏻 I think you'll like it!

i love how district 9 felt like a revolution, like a rebellion against society. as a rebellious person myself, younger me absolutely loved this shit when it came out. i would recommend you listen to Hellevator, which is like the first ever stray kids song, and Grrr, which are both from their predebut album.

Rigth on time!!!!

Boxer starts off with a linintro as well

I love that they have Lee Know starting the song off and Felix finishing it as in the survival show where they got their start both Lee Know and Felix were eliminated and then they were allowed back and they all got to debut together. Anyways I think it was a super clever/sweet thing.

i was waiting for this reaction

their pre debut songs is great too.

yo i’ve been waiting for this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

If you haven't already listened to it I HIGHLY RECOMMEND STOP! STOP link - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xd-uC02Qmmc.html This is the full version of an intro track they did called road not taken. The beat is insane!

You should really react to Monsta X, one of the best rap duo’s. (all though nothing can top han and changbin)

this song is inspired by the movie district 9 i thinkkkk, it sounds so good when it’s performed live😭

Back door!!! BACK DOOR!!!

You need to react to Grr(Beware), Back door, rock, yayaya, I got it, Happy, I wish you back by Han.

Hi Teddy! I HIGHLY recommend “ssick” from Stray Kids as well. I think you would love it :)

I completely agree - nothing against Han, cause his voice is amazing, it just doesn’t have that edge like binnie’s 🔥

Noizy benzi ri is out🤯

Thank you Teddy😊🖤

i would also love to see your reaction to their song "Voices" it's so good!!

Mirror next👍
